What we do

We are an independent conservation organization, striving to sustain the natural world for the benefit of people and wildlife. From individuals and communities to business and government, we are part of a growing coalition calling on world leaders to set nature on the path to recovery by 2030. Together, we seek to protect and restore natural habitats, stop the mass extinction of wildlife, and make the way we produce and consume sustainably.

About WWF-Vietnam

WWF was one of the first International non-government organizations working in Vietnam. In 1985, WWF began working on a national conservation strategy and since then has worked closely with the Vietnamese Government on a diverse range of environmental issues and implemented field activities across the country.

• Develop a public policy piece for USAID and the US Government encapsulating the analysis and setting out suggested options for activities including MFF and also beyond; and
• Work with WWF to identify how this analysis can be included in annual work planning, pause and reflect sessions and the findings and assumptions can be regularly tested as MFF proceeds.
